Our training was a joke. We watched some anti-terrorism videos, where given some regulations and rules to look over, and taught basic marksmanship. Of course I was only a part-time federal employee so maybe the regualr guys got something more, but I don't think they did. Although the full time guys did have OC spray where the part timers didn't.
The gear we had was handcuffs, radio, M9 pistol, Remington 870 shotgun( 2 different types), and the old school rock and roll M16. The Air Force personal had everything we had and we drew our stuff from their Security Forces armoury, except they had the newer M16A2's.
The draft would usually be exempt for these guys, because most were older guys, we had some from the Vietnam War.They usually hire people that our prior military, or have been in federal employment before. The only guy that wasn't was some guy that had worked for a security company prior. I don't think part time DOD security police are normal. I was just 1 of 5 that took part in some weird solution to man power probelms.
